  • AArrrggHHHH commercials

    Before non-stop ads on nearly every song, I rated this site 5 stars. I just caught up on listening to the past month’s songs. Many were great, but the 30+ second commercial is such a HUGE TURN-OFF. For years this was my GO TO FOR NEW MUSIC, but the promos are awful. Corporate shilling on public radio is annoying.

  • The ads have ruined this podcast

    This has always been a hit or miss podcast depending on the song. But I appreciated being able to decide right away if a song was for me. Now each song is preceded by a 15-30 second promo or ad. Please stop this! It’s incredibly annoying when you just want to hear a song. Keep the ads on your talk podcasts, that’s fine, but not here please.

  • ADS?

    Hearing a thirty second ad before the song is a vibe killer to the point of I will never even look up the songs no matter how good they sound.
